		<description>xPirate,

Just wanted to say, with Dr. B, that I appreciate the tone of your comment.  I believe homosexuality is wrong, in the same way that I believe any other sinful behavior is wrong. 

But I completely agree with you, that you (and everyone else who has chosen a sinful lifestyle) have every right to be treated and spoken to with kindness.

I would go one step further and say what I think is the kindest thing that I could say to you or anyone else, for that matter.  That is, I would simply like to urge you to turn away from your sin (repent) and put your faith in the only one who can save any of us from the awful penalty and power of our sin.

Blessings to you.</description>

		<description>I am talking about the comments that came after the post.  If you read my last post, i highlighted the quotes which are &#039;filth&#039;.  I have no problem with Dr. Bruce&#039;s opinion, but the comments that came after it.  If this was my site, I would have deleted the majority of them on my blog due to the &#039;hate&#039; it clearly is stating.

I have no problem with people hating gay people, everyone has their opinion, but to claim he is a christian and to allow these types of a comments that are not christian based, makes me wonder what this blog is about.

&quot; By the way, kudos to xPirate for stating himself clearly and without hate.&quot;

Clearly, i am not surehow clearer I can be, the comments to this post are &#039;filth&#039;.  I never wrote anywhere that I hated these folks.  However, its views that are written on a christiam blog, clearly are about hate.  Clearly you havnt read the comments, but if you did, you can see why some would be a little pist off.</description>

		<description>John,
I have to agree with Dr. Bruce. You are protesting entirely too much. What he has written is not filth, but a post which questions why a homosexual feels the need to force eHarmony to provide a service which it doesn&#039;t feel it is qualified to provide. 

Dr. Bruce, myself, and others do not have a problem with homosexuals living their chosen lifestyle, even though we do not agree with their decision. It is a free country, after all. However, when the homosexual movement insists on accusing a company like eHarmony of discrimination, when it is no such thing, then they need to be called out on that tactic. 

By the way, kudos to xPirate for stating himself clearly and without hate.</description>

		<description>&quot;These people don’t want equal rights, they want special rights.&quot;

&quot;who do these people say think they are?&quot;

&quot;As long as they get what they want, they don’t care about the rest of us.&quot;

&quot;These people are in a full blown movement to take away our rights! Do not be deceived and think it’s just wanting extra rights, which it is but it’s much more than that. They want to squash Christianity and/or anyone who calls their sin - sin! &quot;

&quot;People do not back down to these thugs! That’s what they are… we could call them brown shirts.&quot;

&quot; Homosexuals think that the majority of Americans 
accept them as normal, but the truth is that we don’t, we have learned to tolerate them&quot;

&quot;I think that if homosexuals want to be taken seriously they have to stop trying to cram their lifestyle down our throats (no pun intended).&quot;

&quot;Homosexuality is harmful. It is not benign. It causes all sorts of physical and psychological/ spiritual harm&quot;


Should I add more &#039;filth&#039; to this.  I would if I had the time.  This is clearly not christians values.  yes, I protest loudly due to the ignorance and the cowards that hide behind their own homophobia and blame it on the church.  this is NOT what God teaches us. 

Oh by the way,  I may be reading too much into it, but what is with the ad on your site?  the ad targets gay men, its called an  &#039;homoerotic&#039; image.  YOu protest against homosexuality, then run an ad like this.  hmmmmmmm im starting to understand you more now Dr. Bruce.  God bless.

oh, as for &#039;protest too loudly&#039;..lol.  This is not my blog Im protesting on, its yours.  You took the time to actually write about it.   I dont have one post in my blog that is offensive to our brothers and sisters.  You tell me who has more christian values?  Someone who clearly allows this type of filith on their blog, which preaches hatred, or someone who would just delete this kind of hate from their blog.  

Now were talking about faith and facts.</description>

		<description>xPirate - thanks for your lucid comment. I suspect we would find a great deal of common ground in our thinking and be respectful of each other when we disagree. Blessings to you in return.

		<description>Ok my opinion on this is simply this! I do not feel E Harmony should have to cater to someone wanting to have a adulterous relationship in any form. As to the Lesbian woman wanting to find a partner I can understand why is it ok for a straight couple to seek each other out but it is not ok to allow the gay and lesbian community to also have those same rights!

I know alot of people will not agree with me but as the mother a lesbian I have to agree with the Californian Woman
